LOL...

... does this follow the long lines of animal incarnations from Ninja Turtles, Battletoads and Biker Mice from Mars...

One thing is missing ... spring loaded missiles, that would've been dope. I mean its says 18 years old and older, I miss the springloaded weapons of the 80s

Nope

I stumbled across this line a couple of months ago and came awfully close to pulling the trigger. Nice to see it show up here.

If you look at the site, you'll see a fairly serious war story there. Which would separate it from the kid-friendly properties like TMNT, Biker Mice, etc. It also fails to anthropomorphize the whales, forcing them to wear uncomfortable mech suits to move around.

My second thought was "dolphin

My second thought was "dolphin hands", but if you haven't read Larry Niven then you don't know what that is.

Love this guy's work...

Nice review. I've seen some of this guy's stuff before. He did a cool interview and some figures of his were reviewed over at InfiniteHollywood.com a while back. Glad to see he's adding articulation.
